Tuttosport: Bartesaghi promotion an option for Milan despite Calafiori agreement

While working on the sale of Fode Ballo-Toure, AC Milan are looking at options to replace him and become the new deputy to Theo Hernandez.

As today’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports, the sale of Ballo-Touré is expected to be closed very soon given that he is not a part of the plans and is actually attracting interest from various clubs.

The paper states that Riccardo Calafiori of Basel has been secured, meaning a verbal agreement over a deal has been found, but there is the possibility that the management will opt for an internal solution instead.

Indeed, there is the idea emerging that Davide Bartesaghi could be promoted from Ignazio Abate’s Primavera side to the first team on a more permanent basis.

Bartesaghi was taken on the tour of the USA with the first team which shows how highly regarded he is, and he even got some playing time off the bench.
